Universal Zeus-XR Adel™

$2,729.99

2 Legendary sound signatures, 1 in-ear monitor.

The Zeus-XR ADEL is our most ambitious project yet, boasting an all new switch control system that allows the user to toggle between the Zeus-XIV ADEL and Zeus-R ADEL instantaneously.. The Zeus-XR ADEL boasts unprecedented levels of engineering and components, including a colossal power reserve of 28 total balanced armature drivers, 5 precision ported sound bores, and a state-of-the-art dual system crossover network, to deliver the most extraordinary audio reproduction possible.

The Zeus-XR ADEL features the world's first and only patented technology that safely delivers a louder, more spacious and richer sound – all while avoiding the risk of hearing damage caused by in-ear monitors. When the ear canal is sealed by an in-ear monitor, the driver vibrations create harmful pneumatic pressures in the confined space. The ADEL technology features a secondary eardrum that absorbs the pneumatic pressures produced by in-ear monitors and provides a much safer listening experience. It delivers sound the way it was meant to be heard. With the ADEL, bass sounds deeper, midrange is clearer and highs sound richer than ever.

The Zeus-XR ADEL is the ultimate, quintessential in-ear monitor.

Estimated Build Time: 4-5 Weeks.Rush orders are also available for $300 additional fee. Build time is 10 business days from the date order is approved.

Description

These ADEL™ Manual Adjustable Modules (MAM) are the most advanced Asius products yet.

This pair features easily adjustable controllers which can be turned while listening to music, and adjustable valves that help regulate pneumatic pressure, and each has a secondary membrane tensioner, as well as an adjustable “secondary” Eustachian tube.

The ADEL™ B1 Auto Modules are designed to bring even more transparency and spaciousness to IEMs and earplugs. This is achieved by a single membrane design, which slightly reduces the bass and brings more spaciousness to the midrange and highs. The ADEL™ B1 is non-adjustable and automatically works to absorb the pneumatic pressures in your ear canal. and also reduces the occlusion effect (boom of your voice) even further to give singers and active wearers fatigue-free listening.

The ADEL™ G1 Auto Modules are designed to bring even more clear bass to IEMs and earplugs. This is achieved by a different membrane design, which slightly increases the bass. The ADEL™-G1 is non-adjustable and automatically works to absorb the pneumatic pressures in your ear canal. and also reduces the occlusion effect (boom of your voice) even further to give singers and active wearers fatigue-free listening.

The Zeus-XR ADEL boasts 14 proprietary balanced armature drivers, each individually tuned via our advanced crossover network in order to achieve maximum coherence and resolution. Each and every driver at Empire Ears is subject to strict quality control tests before we apply a patent-pending nano magnetic coating. This conformal coating not only resists moisture and other harmful contaminants but also optimizes performance by shielding each driver’s magnetic field to eliminate all interference.

Using only the most exceptional components the Zeus-XR ADEL’s internals are individually wired and insulated with 7-strand, sapphire and gold, silver-plated copper Litz wires to eliminate acoustic feedback and further soldered with robust, ultra pure quad-eutectic for maximum conduction.

The Zeus-XR ADEL features a state-of-the-art, industry leading, dual crossover system that allows the user to switch between both the Zeus XIV ADEL and Zeus R ADEL instantaneously at the flick of a switch on the faceplate. The up position activates the Zeus R ADEL’s 14 driver, 8-way crossover network and the down position activates the Zeus XIV ADEL’s 14 driver, 7-way crossover network. Unlike other in-ear monitor companies, Empire Ears does not use filters or dampers to manipulate the frequency curve. That method of tuning forces the drivers to operate outside of its intended frequency range, often duplicating too many of the same frequencies from numerous drivers. This means you’ll have to turn the volume up to hear what you want.

Our method of tuning allows the drivers to behave naturally as our crossover network is engineered to assign the proper frequencies and levels to the corresponding transducer. The end result is a crystal clear, full range frequency response that can be heard even at low volumes.

The Zeus-XR ADEL features 5 precision ported sound bore. Each bore is engineered and hand ported in-house to our exacting clearances in order to achieve optimum phase alignment, consistent performance, and the truest sound possible every time.

Five Bore Design

Precision Ported Sound Bore

The Zeus-XR ADEL features 5 precision ported sound bores with a designated bore for highs, mids, mid-highs, lows, and the ADEL technology. Each bore is engineered and hand ported in-house to our exacting clearances in order to achieve optimum phase alignment, consistent performance, and the truest sound possible every time.

HandcraftedArt

The secret to every Empire Ears in-ear monitor is the craftsmanship behind it. Each set is handmade by experienced craftsmen who take pride in producing impeccable products from only the finest and highest quality materials.

AdvancedUV Materials

We concentrate on the best materials so that you can enjoy the quality behind every Empire Ears product. All of our in-ear monitors are handcrafted from the finest, hypoallergenic UV acrylic. Each set is individually nitrogen treated and built with thicker-than-competition sidewalls for maximum construction strength without the additional weight.

Proudly MadeIn the USA

Empire Ears has long prided itself for home-grown craftsmanship, with artisans donning lab coats and honing years of OEM factory experience before being entrusted to handle the Empire lineage. While several of our competitors have taken their manufacturing overseas we’ve remained true to our USA roots to not only provide jobs to our local community but to ensure that quality is never compromised.
